NYC's Board of Education sponsored a program along with the USSR
whereby our students and their parents and chaperones were invited
to spend some time in the USSR with host families -- Soviet students
and their chaperones were also welcome to the USA.
 
Eric Fenster, for the past few years has taken groups from the USA
to Soviet computer camps and I hope he'll join this discussion --
his email address is: {uunet,rutgers}!umix!fenster or
                      EricFenster%Wayne.MTS@UM.CC
 
Two of the doctors who post to sci.med have taught and travelled
in the USSR; one I know of has published an article about the
first micro-computers he saw in the Soviet Union.
 
People are people -- we're not inviting their GOVERNMENT to
access the net (they're already on it) but it would be quite
wonderful to know that Soviet citizens have net access just like
the rest of us.
